Sorry not selective, this statement seemed pretty cut and dry. 

I never said that. i am simply implying  that he is the second best pitcher on this roster. 

 

in this situation, you are in the game till the end. i'll take that over being out of the game by the third all day. 

 

You ignored part of the statement and the context.  

You've done nothing but point out his faults and make excuses to nullify for his strengths

A loss is a loss.  You can't have it both ways.

The difference is in evaluating his overall performance.

please lets look at full body of work ,PS has a better ERA, WHIP, more innings pitched,  less walks, and more wins over the full course of the season. Again all SM has over PS is Strikeouts. And if you wanna talk about what one inning will do. look at PS numbers if you take the his first inning against UNC? If you do that, PS hasn't given up more than three earned runs in a game this season and that's just subtracting his first inning of the season which could be nerves, not a random inning that you give up after cruising through lesser teams.

SM leads the conference in opponents BA as well.  He's the better pitcher, he's just erratic which isn't uncommon for hard throwing lefties.  He seems to get a little frustrated and loses it mentally at times. The Bulls are fortunate to have 2 quality starters.

Does that included CMU, Colombia, Army, and Fordham? if so, those number skewed and out of context. Thats not the level of competition we should comparing ourselves too. None of those teams will make a regional barring a tournament miracle.

He's not the better pitcher because of the weaknesses that you highlighted

This is true,  but I would rather walk away knowing we had a chance to win it instead of wondering why we showed up.

Didn't PS face those same opponents?  You don't think other conferences face similar cupcakes preconference?  lol, are you related to PS?  The bias is thick

Yes, but I subtract those games from PS numbers too. The bottom line PS has been better against P5 opponents not names army.

Who has been collectively better against UNC, Tulane, Houston, ECU, and UConn? That's what my whole argument stems on. What have they done against teams that we should be compared to? not the lesser teams that we fill our schedule with.

This isn't the first team whose #2 had better "stats" than the #1 (and that is only selectively true).  Doesn't mean you go off and change the rotation midseason especially when the team's results are there.
